Ground Beef Stir Fry

This easy Ground Beef Stir Fry recipe is the easiest one-pan meal you’ll make. The ground beef makes it even easier than other stir fries, but it’s still loaded with fresh veggies and the best stir fry sauce that I learned from a chef. You’ll love the authentic taste, and you’ll make this recipe over and over because it’s way better than takeout!
I learned this ground beef stir fry recipe from a glamping trip I went on years ago. The lead BBQ guy was making this amazing hibachi stir fry. The sauce was so savory and delicious, and when I asked him about it, he said it’s just 3 ingredients: soy sauce, BBQ sauce, and maple syrup!
Well, that surprised me, but it was so flavorful and satisfying that I didn’t lose any time recreating it at home. I added a bit of garlic, ginger, and sesame oil for that authentic Asian stir-fry flavor, and this easy stir-fry sauce was born.
When I’m in a rush for dinner, I love making stir fry, since it’s full of good-for-you vegetables and protein for a well-rounded dinner. It’s a whole meal on the table in 20 minutes and only using one pan for super easy clean up. And what is easier than ground beef? Add the sauce, and this meal will knock your socks off (Also, I’m curious who made up that saying – probably someone with a wonderful imagination – now you’re all seeing your socks fly off – ha!).
